Philocalist

'PHILOCALIST' 2004 (calamba)



Nature paints the waters blue and the mountains green,
As the music of swaying trees and roaming beasts reign.
Touching human hearts in breathtakingly amazing scenes.
Under the blue sky, God's unconditional love is evidently seen.
Rivers of teeming fish, lands of abundant fruits and grains,
Swallow by a pair of Mother Earth's caring hands, our haven.   
 
Storms, quakes, climate change and other ecological villains,
Pilfered and plundered the nature's wealth and magnificence.
Envious hearts and ambitious minds have also brought change,
Afflicting Mother Earth in every technological advancement.
Keep an eye; take heed that something is wrong with our planet,
Start with a promise to care for Mother Earth before it's too late!
